I did what I can't. Finally the issue is solve. It is just the front desk fella didn't give me full detail. He is trying to simply answer my question.
I forgotten her name dy. Anyway, now the issue is solve. Punching sc is just not very responsible.

Anyway, in the end of the day, it was spark plugs miss fire. Now it is changed and the coil also. I need to pay for the spark plugs. sad.gif

No symptom at all man. On that particular morning, I start my car, then I straight away feel that the engine is losing the power. Then dashboard give error message.

I will suggest that the spark plug should be change on your 30k service. Else, you will be taking very high risk for this situation. Sianz. Charged me RM200 ++ just to change the spark plug. Coil was under warranty.
*
i might have the same problem with u, i jz done my 30k service at 26k, the service center change my spark plug, cost me about 170 for the spark plug excluding labour..

my symptom is engine vibrates more when engine is not yet reaching operating temperature, but no error message..

after service & changing the spark plug, the vibration become less..

i wonder if the floaty feel is due to torsion beam suspension as opposed to multi link /double wishbone suspension. Any thoughts if that could be it?
*
my 408t with torsion beam attack corners better than my civic with double wishbone

my 408t with torsion beam can cruise at 180km/h and still feeling safe where my camry with multi link feels like it is going to take off and fly away at only 150km/h

dude, i think it's because 2.0 has softer suspension set up, and i realize my 408t has anti roll bar under the torsion beam, i'm not sure if 2.0 has it

okie dokie, may be NA is really too soft hence floaty biggrin.gif

well to have a huge bot space , torsion beam suspension makes it easy for the car maker while multi link makes it a challenge, so we can't have t all i guess.
*
not to forget turbo version is having bumpy ride where 2.0 is having comfort ride

i guess cars with magnetic, air or hydraulic suspension can have both, by only pushing 1 button in ur car brows.gif

Light_up, that most probably due to sensor. its happend to me before and SC will add on another sensor to solve it.
*
after doing that will rectify the problem right? they didn't change your water pump right?

i've sent mine for checking today, sc can't find any problem, also my car is not showing any symptom again, maybe wait until the sensor kaput then only go sc again

That's good as the engine's reliability will improve public opinion on Pugs. Sadly BMW's support and future development with PSA on the Prince will end by 2016.

which will be painful to look for spare part in the future sweat.gif

Ok guys. Moment of truth. Going to make the booking for 408 TE Blue. Any last minute suggestion and concerns from my friends here?

Also my SA is giving Wingard tinting. Any review on this tint though was preferring other brands.

Very keen to put the OEM Touch Screen from peugeot.  Wont void warrant.

The range for diff SC is rm2600 to rm2900. Mine quoted RM2900 with reverse camera and such. I like thing  that i can touch and it works lol
*
built in GPS?

2900 sounds ok to me, 408 interior with touch screen looks much more better..

Hi, can anyone compare the sound from my engine to your 408 turbo?

Yup I had that too. Bring to SC, claim to have tighten to loose nuts or bolts. but few days after, same thing occur again. Anyway, I just close one ear  tongue.gif

did they tell which part is loosen & making the annoying knocking noise?

QUOTE(joeaggas @ Sep 24 2014, 12:06 AM)
Stock tyres are Conti MaxContact MC5. I brought to a nearby continental tyre shop at Mah Sing Subang 2 for usual alignment and balancing. They quoted me CSC5 instead and each cost RM820! My  shocking.gif , jaws dropped and tongue rolled out.
*
if i were not mistaken, Goodyear Eagle F1 Assy 2 is in the same level as Conti CSC5, but a lot more cheaper

Front wheel drive cars, rule of thumb give less worn tyre in front. Change 4 (or 5 - remember the spare tyre is an exact tyre spare not some small little wheel), can try other brand and experience the difference - which I think is subjective in terms of what is good for (wallet/drive experience/cabin ambient - wear earplugs)

Change just 2 - can also but if want to try other brands then mix brand tyres. Front Michellin / Goodyear, back Contis  drool.gif

I just got quote from nearby tyre shops;
Goodyear Eagle F1 A2 - RM550/pcs - shop owner claims direct Germany import not local manufacture.
Goodyear Eagle F1 D5 - RM485/pcs (this tyre cannot side cross switch during 8K - 10K alignment/balancing services)
Michellin PS3 RM580/pcs
Continental CSC 5 (not MC5) - RM820/pcs

Choices Choices Choices.
Goodyear shop fella added, "Better change now lor - afterwards GST add 6%". Nia-sing! after many nag from accountant go tyre shops also get this acronym.

any price for yokohama v105 & pirelli p zero?
